ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM & RECOMMENDATION

Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Julie K. Hampton’s Order and Memorandum and
Recommendation (“M&R”). (D.E. 6). The M&R recommends that the Court dismiss without
prejudice Petitioner’s petition prior to service for lack of jurisdiction. Jd. at 1.

The parties were provided proper notice of, and the opportunity to object to, the Magistrate
Judge’s M&R. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); General Order No. 2002-13. No
objection has been filed. When no timely objection is filed, the district court need only determine
whether the Magistrate Judge’s M&R is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. United States v.
Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (Sth Cir. 1989) (per curiam); Powell v. Litton Loan Servicing, L.P.,
No. 4:14-CV-02700, 2015 WL 3823141, at *1 (S.D. Tex. June 18, 2015) (Harmon, J.) (citation
omitted),

Having reviewed the proposed findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge, the filings
of the parties, the record, and the applicable law, and finding that the M&R is not clearly erroneous
or contrary to law, the Court ADOPTS the M&R in its entirety. (D.E. 6). Accordingly, the Court

DISMISSES without prejudice Petitioner’s petition. (D.E. 1).
